For me it's similar, a story or a underlying context is what makes anything relevant and interesting, just random people screwing each other isn't really something I care much about. The H-scene doesn't necessarily need plot-progression, but showcasing the characters involved and experiencing a new side of them is really the important part. The ones that I've disliked are generally those that don't take characters and the situation into context and just insert a generic h-scene. The girls often behave completely different before and during a h-scene which removes any immersion you have. This makes me end up liking either the dark ones with psychological themes or just good old vanilla.

Kumo Desu Ka is indeed a good novel. I'd read the WN quite a while back, so don't really know how different LN is. The WN did have some issues in the later parts with more perspectives being introduced, but overall wasn't too bad. Not sure till where LN has reached, but I read till the point where 'White' was introduced (not saying more cause spoilers). Plot twists are indeed great, I especially like that the 'obvious' situations (cliches) are given some background/reasons and not just swept under the rug. The monologue of Kumoko is a major draw point at the start and remains entertaining throughout. Also the parallel minds are just hilarious.

Well the first volume is still pretty good (though edgy asf), gets too cliched and boring from there. Dropped it after the 3rd volume. The novel that's been on my mind recently is Lord of Secrets, which is also the best ln I read in the past year. Really good novel, the plot and characters are both great. The world background and the mysteries surrounding it are always interesting to follow. The power setting of 22 routes/sequences that replace the traditional mage/warrior is beautifully made. Basically I recommend it highly, definitely worth the read.

I'm definitely gonna be trying it one day. Of course the one day would need me craving for dark stuff and also with renewed SAN.

Once again proving that Kokoro has been the best girl all along.

Well as it happens my view-point on existence is similar. I was nihilistic when I first reached this conclusion, but now realize it's kinda irrelevant. Afterall, we live through abstraction. Rather than thinking that I like eating an ice-cream due my free will or some brainwashing, it's more important to know that you enjoy eating it.

The crystallization of human wisdom.

Well yeah exact results won't apply, but it is undeniable that a void will be created - one that would be needed to filled properly with other interests. You know even for mice some of them adapted -beautiful ones- so adapting is definitely possible, just the ratio is unknown. If this change happens slowly over time with everyone slowly getting used to the change it would be alright, though on the other hand a sudden lack of purpose would make quiet a few people mentally unstable. Using that exact scenario in human case is arguably an extreme case but definitely a possible one.

Also something for people who read Tokyo Babel,

Ikusa Megami Zero for me. Can't wait for some Eushully titles getting translated, chances are probably slim but doesn't hurt to try.

While I haven't read Subahibi, I'd suggest Dies Irae over MLA. Mainly due to the the 2 parts needed to be read before MLA and the annoying protagonist.

Dunno about the manga but I have read the light novel, where Veldora (the dragon) does show up again though after a looong time. His interaction then is damn good too. The point where he comes out is Gonna watch Fairy Tail and Index 3 from the sequels, and plan to try out Zombieland saga and Kyuuketsu-san for now.

Found this a couple of days back, like it a lot. Was thinking of watching the movie as it looked good (the trailer too), though I wonder why it has a low (6.7) rating on MAL. Hopefully it will be good.

Mine too. But apparently Monsters are fine ....... in water.
